Honeywell A-C 617 Low Density Polyethylene Wax

Honeywell A-C 617 is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) wax offering excellent slip, abrasion resistance, and melt-processability. Part of Honeywell’s A-C® wax series, it enhances surface finish in coatings, inks, and masterbatches. Its low viscosity and broad compatibility make it ideal for thermoplastics and hot-melt adhesives requiring consistent dispersion and gloss control.

Features Of Honeywell A-C 617 Low Density Polyethylene Wax

  1. Low melting point (approx. 105–109 °C) enables energy-efficient processing and compatibility with heat-sensitive formulations.

  2. Excellent lubricity and slip performance for improved melt flow and reduced die buildup in extrusion and injection molding.

  3. High molecular weight distribution provides balanced hardness, toughness, and film-forming capability in coatings and inks.

  4. Non-toxic, FDA-compliant for indirect food contact applications when used as intended.

  5. Good thermal stability and oxidative resistance, supporting consistent performance during high-temperature compounding.

Typical Applications Of Honeywell A-C 617 Low Density Polyethylene Wax

  1. Slip and anti-block additive in polyolefin films and packaging laminates.

  2. Internal and external lubricant in PVC and thermoplastic compound formulations.

  3. Matting agent and surface modifier in solvent-based and water-based industrial coatings.

  4. Release aid and viscosity control agent in hot-melt adhesives and sealants.

  5. Processing aid in masterbatch production for color and additive dispersion.
